How to Send Money from Nigeria to Rwanda

Making personal or business shifts is not a surprising incident. People make relocation decisions from time to time. According to Statista, there were 25 million international migrants in Africa as of July 2020

In cases of migration between African countries, your loved one can decide to move to Rwanda for studies or you can decide to have your next family vacation in Kigali. Better still, you can even be a Rwandese and have customers and business partners in Nigeria. 

The possibility of these requires a smooth money flow process as you will need, at some point, to send money to your loved one in Rwanda, receive money from customers, or make payments to vendors during your visit to Kigali. 

However, sending money from Nigeria to Rwanda can be challenging due to the limited options available. Traditional money transfer methods such as bank transfers and wire transfers can be expensive and time-consuming. 

Also, these methods may require the sender or receiver to have a bank account, which can be a challenge for those who are unbanked or underbanked. Not to forget to mention how high the cost of remittance services in some cases, can eat into the amount being sent. This can be difficult when you just need to send small amounts of money.

In this article, we will delve into the most efficient and cost-effective way to send money to Rwanda from Nigeria. And towards the end of your read, you will realize that, making intra-Africa transactions can be easier than you had imagined. Let’s roll!
